Her Big Breaky

After Miley Cyrus, 13, landed the lead role of a pop-star high schooler in Disney Channel's Hannah Montana, dad Billy Ray, 44 (of "Achy Breaky Heart" fame), got cast as her dad on the show. The two—who recently moved to L.A. from Nashville with wife and mom Tish and Miley's four siblings—discuss the fun of working together with PEOPLE's Champ Clark.

Miley, how did you get into acting?

Miley: I did three episodes of Doc [Billy Ray's PAX show, which ran for four years]. Then I got cast in Tim Burton's Big Fish. Then I got Hannah Montana.
